[quote=Anonymous]Agree with medication for adhd and possibly depression being important. But the other thing that was a game changer for my DC was a job. Not an internship but just a regular job. Turns out when it is a job versus school, dc was so much better at everything. For his job, he got himself up early, he was hardworking and liked all The stimulation of the workplace, and felt a real self esteem boost that he was successful in it. I think earning his own money was also really good for his self image. Of course, when he’d come home he would be exhausted and often ready to fall apart, so it was t perfect. But he was significantly happier and I wish we had tried it earlier. I thought it would be a mistake to add a job when grades were shaky, but it actually worked out better for him that way for all of the above reasons. Good luck to him![/quote]
